50 Cent moves up to the fourth spot this year, with a net worth of $155 million. His deals with Frigo underwear, Effen Vodka and his SMS audio company keeps him in the list.

Birdman
(XXL Mag)

Cash Money Records CEO Birdman’s net worth is at $150 million – $10 million less than his value on last year’s “Forbes Five” where he finished ahead of 50 Cent. Birdman’s ongoing feud with Lil Wayne and rumors of his departure hurt the mogul’s finances, Forbes said.

The “Forbes Five” incorporates artist’s past earnings, current holdings, financial documents and analysis from attorneys, managers, or other industry players. Some of the moguls themselves contribute to the calculations.
